Huh? How come the documentation (even for 5.14) still mentions that and doesn't
mention QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING at all then?

https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.14/highdpi.html

I guess with "in 2016" you mean the change this email is talking about:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/176381

That commit was merged for Qt 5.14 a couple of weeks ago, not in 2016:

  commit 1de8b01d2b6db8a4fe2eddd0c595d9e680964db5
  Author:     Morten Johan Sørvig <morten.sorvig at qt.io>
  AuthorDate: Thu Nov 10 14:17:53 2016 +0100
  Commit:     Morten Johan Sørvig <morten.sorvig at qt.io>

Looks like that change didn't add a changelog entry and didn't bother to update
the documentation at all...
